October 3, Success story

LAUREN KO is an artist, writer, self-taught home baker, and founder of the popular Instagram account @lokokitchen where she has amassed over 300,000 followers. Her colorful geometric style made all hell bake loose on the frontier of contemporary pie art, and her iconic signature spoke design has been dubbed the “modern lattice.” Her work has been featured in publications such as Vogue, O Magazine, Buzzfeed’s Tasty, and on-screen in Martha Bakes. Her creations continue to inspire globally from Seattle, WA, where Lauren lives with her husband, Ben, and their bear dog, Santi.

PIEOMETRY: Modern Tart Art and Pie Design for the Eye and the Palate by Lauren Ko

Lauren reveals her secrets, sharing stories about her designs and the inspiration behind them. Ever relatable and quick with a pun, she recounts the spectacular “piesasters” that led to some of her best creations and breaks down her most beautiful designs, describing how to make naturally colored dough, intricate weaves, and striking cut-out patterns. PIEOMETRY provides clear, step-by-step instructions, accompanied by helpful photographs, which any patient baker can follow to build these pies from bottom crust to top in their own kitchens.
